After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"It doesn't matter."

The Third Prince shook his wrist and splashed the remaining wine in the cup toward the window. "If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time. The Crown Prince's people will not let them off easily, and my father will not let them off either."

"I still need you to mediate with Bai Luochuan," he turned around, looked down at the girl in front of him with a serene smile, and said softly, "If I succeed, I will definitely welcome you into the palace with a phoenix crown and a red robe."

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is heavily guarded, and the only one who could have a loophole is Bai Luochuan.

If they dare to harm me, they must bear their own revenge!

Huang Shanshan lowered her eyes shyly, her thick black eyelashes trembling, "I am willing to lend a helping hand to Your Majesty."

The scorching sun emerged from the dark clouds, and the previously thrilling scene was like a breeze blowing away, and the streets returned to their previous bustle and noise.

After returning to the mansion, Bai Youyou immediately arranged for someone to treat Xu Lingyun's injuries, and asked the servants to cook some calming soup for the frightened Lu.

She had many doubts in her mind. Although the assassination seemed disorganized, it actually had a clear goal.

"Lu Qi, immediately send someone to investigate and find out who is behind today's assassination!" Bai Youyou sat in the hall with a stern look in his eyes.

Just as she gave the instructions, Lu San walked in quickly, "Miss, Prince Xian has been taken away by the Emperor!"

"Do you know why the emperor wants to take Prince Xian away?"

"After taking him to the palace, our people will no longer be able to track down Prince Xian's whereabouts."

Lu San's words made Bai Youyou's heart sink suddenly, "Is he planning to attack our Zhenguo Mansion?"

The Prince of Xian has no power or influence, and his only use to the emperor is that he can be used as an excuse for rebellion.

"Go find the Sixth Young Master and come back quickly. I have something urgent to discuss with him!"

Lu Xuan was originally outside gathering information, but when he heard that Bai Youyou was looking for him, he dropped what he was doing and rushed back immediately.

"Youyou, what happened?"

"Sixth cousin, Prince Xian has been taken away by the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan had the same idea as Bai Youyou, "He is planning to attack my Zhenguo Mansion!"

"Cousin, the old emperor will not show mercy to us. We must not sit and wait for death."

"Of course we can't just sit there and wait for death!"

After that, Lu Xuan stood up and said, "You and Xiao Qi should take care of the affairs in the capital first. I will go to the border to discuss with grandfather how to deal with it."

He looked serious, "Now the court is in chaos, the emperor is incompetent, it's time to choose another wise ruler."

Bai Youyou knew that the situation was urgent, so she nodded and said, "Be careful on the road, cousin."

Lu Xuan didn't delay for a moment. He packed his bags and went to the border.

Prince Rui is not idle now. He secretly gives the magic powder refined by Xu Sheng to the prince's former subordinates.

Those who attended the palace banquet were all high-ranking officials of the third rank and above, and there were many officials below the third rank who slipped through the net.

After the palace banquet, there are many vacancies in official positions above the third rank, so naturally new people need to be promoted, and these people are the first choice.

In the imperial study, the emperor looked at the letter of recommendation and suddenly felt flustered and irritated. He urgently wanted to take some medicine to relieve the extremely manic feeling.

"Bring me my elixir."

Eunuch Li took out a medicine bottle from a secret compartment beside him, poured out a pill and handed it to the emperor, his tone revealing worry, "Your Majesty, you have already taken four pills of this medicine today. How about calling Doctor Pang to check your pulse?"

"Humph, that old guy is secretly on good terms with the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. How dare I employ him?"

After taking the pill, the emperor immediately felt that the irritability and panic dissipated a little. "Maybe I have been tired of these court affairs these days. As long as I have the elixir, I don't have to worry about it."

Seeing that his complexion was getting better, Eunuch Li felt relieved.

He has been taking the pill these days, and it really works wonders.

"How's the third brother doing lately?"

Looking at the documents piled on his desk, the emperor irritably threw the documents in his hand on the table and pinched his brows tiredly.

In the entire Great Zhou, all matters, big and small, have to wait for him to deal with. These court officials are all good-for-nothings!

Eunuch Li said truthfully: "The secret guards reported that Prince Rui was as usual every day, and basically stayed indoors except for the things at hand."

Hearing this, the emperor felt much more relieved.

"Have someone summon him to the palace. I have something to tell him."

When Prince Rui received the summons, he already guessed why. He changed into the four-clawed dragon robe that belonged to the prince and strode to the imperial study.

However, in the imperial study, he saw an acquaintance.

"Father."

"I am not feeling well today. You can handle these memorials for me." The emperor said, and then said to Liang Wenchang beside him: "You can register them. If there is anything wrong, come and tell me."

"Yes."

Liang Wenchang responded respectfully, walked to the small table below and sat cross-legged on the cushion.

It just so happened that Princess Liyang took him to the palace banquet that day, wanting to let all the officials in the court know that Liang Wenchang was her man, so as to avoid being bullied.

There was no one else available in the court, and because he had guarded the emperor on the day of the palace banquet, the emperor specially promoted him to the fifth rank of Chief Censor.

He was promoted to the third rank after only a few months in office, which was unprecedented and will never be repeated.

Prince Rui had the memorial moved to another desk, and picked up a pen dipped in cinnabar to mark on it.

When there was a memorial recommending an official position, he would look up and ask the emperor who was dozing lazily in his chair.

His behavior made the emperor relax his vigilance a little.

After dealing with the memorials on the case, he left the palace and returned to his own palace.

The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the father and son from the second branch of Yongning Marquis's Mansion just came to see you."

"What about people?"

Prince Rui paused, without a trace of surprise on his face.

Not to mention the one in the cold palace, this father and son are very easy to deal with.

"In the small hall."

"Bring people here."

Prince Rui walked towards the Mingtang. The servant brought him tea and he took a sip to moisten his throat.

When Bai Yanlang brought Bai Mulin in, their faces were bruised and purple, and swollen like pig heads.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Prince Rui looked indifferent and raised his chin, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Bai Yanlang and Bai Mulin sat below him nervously.

"Why did you come to see me?" Lu Lingye asked knowingly.

Bai Yanlang swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously, "My Lord, do you still mean what you said last time?"

Lu Lingye raised his eyebrows.

He naturally remembered what he said before, and sneered in his heart, "Whether it counts or not depends on you, Mr. Bai."

Bai Yanlang could understand the implication of Lu Lingye's words. If he didn't like the secret that was mentioned, he would not be able to rely on him today.

Bai Yanlang gave a dry smile and his eyes fell on the maids and servants serving in the room.

Lu Lingye raised his hand, and the servants retreated with their heads lowered.

There were only three of them left in the hall. Bai Yanlang whispered, "In fact, my daughter Yaoyao was enlightened by the Bodhisattva. She has the ability to predict the future."
